At the meeting, Zhuang Yonghui, on behalf of the college, extended a warm welcome to the delegation from Gothenburg Technical College, and made a general introduction about our colled. He said that at the time that Chengdu has been building up as a world cultural city, our college adhered to the principles of “innovating by opening up and communicating” and attached great importance to international exchange and cooperation, and thereby looked forward to in-depth cooperation with the Gothenburg Technical College.

The two parties held detailed discussions on cooperative issues and agreed on initial directions of cooperation. First, to establish China-Sweden Automobile Training Base in Chengdu that students can be recommended to do internship practice in local cooperative enterprises; second, to carry out exchange and short-term visits for students and training programs for teachers; third, to prepare joint skill competitions for related projects.
